Description

The recent progress in gamma-ray spectroscopy of hypernuclei is described. The spin-flip M1 γ transition between the ground-state spin doublet of Λ7Li has been observed. The transition energy provides crucial information on the strength of the spin-spin interaction between Λ and nucleons. The experimental results of B(E2; Λ7Li 5/2+→1/2+) gives evidence that the size of the 6Li core in Λ7Li is smaller than that for the 6Li nucleus in the free space, indicating that the glue-like effect of Λ caused the shrinkage of the Λ7Li nucleus
